an overall great time had at this hotel even though weather was miserable. Waiters marvellous but reception was a bit of a nightmare with long waits for keys as reception was frequently unmanned and 1 particular chap quite surly, definately not a man with front of house skills!

Not a problem, but something to be aware of, as we're all used to self-service or large portions these days. We found the staff helpful and... More

Just returned from a 3 day break at this, truly, great hotel. It is situated on top of the cliff at Shanklin with sea views from the south facing rooms and well worth paying the premium for a sea view room which all have balconies to add to the enjoyment.
